Masters & Preds Need Restrictions
If you have achieved Masters & up within the last 3 seasons you shouldn't be allowed to play in lobbies ranked below diamond. The amount of Masters I'm getting in GOLD lobbies is ridiculous!

@Lord_Scorpion34 Masters are the worst griefers of all Apex, they are supposed to be like 1% of the whole player pool but you meet them everywhere all the time, they use multiple smurfs to grind all season long. This is the reality, you can see them ask for players on facebook groups saying this is their smurf they want to take to Master.
So you start your grind they kill you repeatedly in the first weeks of the grind because we all start bronze, then weeks later they still repeatedly kill you on their smurf account helping friends cutting your grind to a halt, then at the end of the split they still are killing you in every game on their 3rd smurf. I know because I hear from Diamond player friends who are actually Master skilled and they all have 3 accounts they keep grinding.
This is why now I don't even believe there is a MMR matchmaking... matchking is just some balance algorithms according to rank, any player in your rank you will meet him no matter your MMR, this is the reality. Which is the only way it can be abused; having very high skilled players playing on alternative accounts from bronze to diamond rampaging us everyday in everygame.
This is the biggest problem for us. We have been talking about this for years. But stupid youtubers like Jmeyels will not talk about this but only about how recolors are bad and how any pro demand is justified.

- @Palette24carats I'm not talking about Smurf accounts. I'm talking about ANY account that has achieved Master in the last 3 seasons. So any account that has Masters badges from those seasons should not be in Ranked Matches under Diamond.
Smurfs are gonna happen. But smurfs shouldn't already have the badges so it is what it is. I just don't want to see actual Masters & pred badges in my lobbies.
If we have the player base everyone is saying, Masters & Preds should be fine playing in Diamond & above.
I shouldn't be seeing them every game in Gold.- @Lord_Scorpion34 Smurfs are not necessarily brand new accounts, the game is over 5 years old most people have created smurfs and continued to play them now they are lvl 200 and more and they do have Master badges.
Your solution doesnt solve anything they would just stop grinding their alternate accounts to Diamond 1 and still play against us at will.@Palette24caratsIt does solve some issues cuz I guarantee you not every Master or Pred has a Smurf account. And any account that has achieved Master or Pred in the last 3 seasons would be restricted to diamond minimum. So if a smurf account got Masters 3 seasons ago they could only play in Diamond lobbies minimum also.
Restricting making multiple accounts is also a good idea but I doubt Respawn does that. Streamers get views showing themselves grinding Rookie to Masters & would complain.
- @Lord_Scorpion34 The other way to stop them from playing against lower skilled players all the time is to have tournaments like Rocket League, that way it is a competitive environment like we want but you can't play on 2 accounts because you have to be active on that account at the same time so you can't play at every level like Ranked permits you to.
